Do store bought bleach or bleach cleaners cause cancer. if you use them every day to clean bathroom please help?

No: There's no reason to think these cause cancer if used as directed. Anyone can publish any kind of scare story, and you can make anything cause cancer in a bad study, but if it were a real risk, the research piranhas at the NIH wouldn't allow the stuff to be used there.
